ontop of like i feel like diminishing and sexualizing What They Have erases the way that hypercontrolling and abusive [mentor figures] work. like idk. youre boring and they are complex and i think you're a little bit stupid if you are only capable of perceiving murdock's possessiveness and hyperdependance and overprotection as grooming because u guys wouldn't be doing that if gwen was male. lol

#its genuinely stupid to try and argue that the writers intended for that too #<- which ive seen essay long posts about #he actively argues to her father that he would do a better job than him #and then continously proves that he Does. realistically murdock is capable of keeping her safe he is capable of teaching her how to fight #and utilize her powers — he's manipulative and hanging things over her head and its abusive #but like thats still Multifaceted. abuse is multifaceted #he has a deluded sense of care for her; he ultimately loses Everything He Has in favor of her #and even in the end she refuses to be the one who kills him #idk. they have issues im done now #gwext
